The global marketplace is about to undergo a sea of changes. Currently, decentralization is being adopted at a faster pace by all industries. The adoption of blockchain has given a cryptographically secured system where the information cannot be tampered with.  While blockchain technology is still in development, there are many adoption challenges that are yet to be resolved.  

The problem of mass adoption of blockchain and Web3 is a highly pertinent problem, and in fact, scalability remains one of the bottlenecks towards its implementation.  One potential solution to this problem is Supernets. In this blog guide, we will delve deeper into Supernets – Polygon supernets that serve as a type of network using blockchain technology to allow for more efficient communication between nodes.

In simple terms, a Supernets refers to an application-specific chain that operates on the Polygon Edge consensus client with PolyBFT consensus, in bridge mode (and utilizes the transaction relayer), with a stake on the associated rootchain (i.e. PoS mainnet), and employs the on-chain governance mechanism.

Polygon Supernets are industry-leading technology that allows us to build and power the app-chain. The EVM technology powers it and has end-to-end support from all its implementation partners. It extends the POS Mainnet and supports POS Side-Chain with MATIC staked.

The best part about working on Supernets and its implementation partner is that it supports one-click deployment to bootstrap the app-chain. In this blog, we will know in detail about the Polygon Supernets and its features. Further, we will see what Zeeve, as an implementation partner offers and the major industries partnering with Polygon Supernets.     

Introduction to Polygon Supernets

Now creating high-performing, customizable app chains is easy with Polygon Supernets as the network is more robust. On the network, major developments are continuously being made. The Polygon Supernets (version 0.7+) ecosystem provides a pool of indexers, oracles, and explorers for building and deploying apps. 

Supernets can accommodate more data storage, processing power and transactions. This happens due to the usage of a combination of scaling solutions. These solutions include layer-2 scaling techniques, parallelization, and, eventually, ZK technology. 

The Supernets is an app-specific chain that operates on the Edge consensus client PolyBFT consensus. Some of the existing features on the Polygon Supernets are:

  1. The Polygon Supernets are doing a commendable job in empowering enterprise-grade projects. The appchains are in themselves great for enterprises. It provides enterprises with performance, autonomy, and scalability.   
  2. There is a modular framework that simplifies the blockchain development process of blockchain implementation. 
  3. Developers can now use Supernets to create many high-performance networks. Developers get the option to make tailor-made blockchain networks as there is a provision of customizable virtual machines.
  4. There is on-chain governance which makes the network community-driven. 

Features of Polygon Supernets

Some of the features of Polygon Supernets that make it stand out in the crowd of other blockchain protocols are:

Customizable 

The Polygon Supernets extends on the Proof of Scale mainnet. It supports the PoS side chain alongside MATIC staked. The company will add more in the future, such as validium rollup along with a zero zkEVM integration. Moreover, customization can also be done for transaction fees and gas tokens. 

EVM Compatibility 

It is interoperable with the PoS chain with the native bridge. The main focus is on flexibility, adaptability, and the streamlined development process. There is fine-tuning of the network performance as the programming language happens to be familiar. 

Good throughput 

With the Supernets, the blockspace will be dedicated to your application. Therefore, the user experience will not be affected. Users will have access to a broad range of applications. The cross-chain interoperability on the network is important as it increase the collaboration of the network.  

Native Gas Token

One of the recent advantages has been that it provides the option to users to use the native gas token. There are many customizable fee structures available. There are utility tokens that improve network participation. With the creation and management of utility tokens, it provides flexibility. 

Consensus and Governance

The consensus of Polygon Supernets gives exceptional throughput, fast finality and minimal latency. The on-chain governance allows the participants to vote which leads to better transparency and accountability in the ecosystem.    

Advantages of Polygon Supernets 

Security

The Polygon supernets supports both economic and governance-based security. Now it allows the staking of MATIC. One can also use the app-chain native tokens for validator rewards. Use the governance features to control chain access to the validators and smart contract deployers. Most of the features are available on the compliance and regulatory programs.  

Better UX 

The UX of the Polygon supernets is now more better. It has the relayer-type functionality, which allows the Polygon Supernets to pay the gas fee. Thus, this makes onboarding frictionless. 

Interoperability

The native bridge to the Polygon PoS enhances interoperability. The interoperability further becomes better with the support of many third-party bridges; the bridging lets the network to customize plug-ins between different layers.     

Some of the Industries leveraging Polygon Supernets Efficiently

The Polygon platform will benefit both industries and users in terms of speed and transaction fees. These are some of the pioneers who are leveraging the Polygon Supernets efficiently: 

Gaming 

Many global gaming companies, including Robinhood and Square Enix, are part of the Polygon gaming ecosystem. In-game economics are becoming more prevalent nowadays. Gaming giants like Plai Labs and Nexon are planning to build app chains on Polygon Supernets. GameSwift, the best Web3-powered game, is migrated to Polygon Supernets.  

DeFi Projects

The DeFi projects want more and more expansion. Many DeFi leaders, such as Ripio, Lemon, and Nu, are adopting Polygon Supernets. As there will be good native interoperability and more sync with Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems. DeFi comapnies, when launching with Polygon, the issue of network throughput diminishes.    

Enterprises

Enterprises want to bring data on a decentralized network. Recently, the Acentrik and Gaia-x have decided to join the Polygon Supernets. A few days back, Singapore-based Bisonai partnered with Polygon. The reason for the partnership is to expand into the Web3 business. Enterprises opting for Supernets will notice an improvement in the speed of transactions and customization.    

Solution Providers

There are industry-leading Web3 infrastructure providers collaborating with Polygon Supernets so as to make the implementation efficient. The solution providers will offer innovative, cutting-edge solutions to the developers and the team. This will accelerate the blockchain implementation process.   

Implementation Partners

The implementation partners are there to work with projects to build the Supernets. There are 10 implementation partners who are making the work seamless are — Blockchain Studios, Cometh.io, MVP workshop, Ethrenal, ANKR, Stardust, AE Studio, Getaway.fm, Nethermind, and Settlemint. Now Zeeve has joined as an implementation partner to make the access to Polygon Supernets easier.
